X-Men Writer Chris Claremont Thinks Idris Elba Should Play Bishop

[Cat piss martini]

Well it's only a matter of finding a way to introduce them now...

call me crazy but i saw him as Blade
or Spawn.

Claremont, Morrison and Whedon are the best writers the Xfranchise has had. Respect his opinion but why not get someone younger?

Lol@Morrison...

There's a perfect way (IMO) to integrate them into the MCU and Wanda is the key, if they do it how I envision it.

Lol@Morrison...

Morrison did for the X franchise what Frank Miller did for Batman. He brought it's edge back. He explored the ugly side of being a mutant and an X-man

None of that stuff held up..he pushed his odd agenda, had no understanding of Magneto, and created that Scott/Emma stigma that plagued the books for several years. I think his run was disgraceful.

If it’s not Jheri Curl Bishop, no thanks.

Don't get me wrong, Jheri curl Bishop is GOAT but no love for Bishop with the locks??

My nikka Bishop been thru some shyt tho....
I remember they had him in space PAWGin' with Deathbird's crazy ass

They even had a daughter named Aaliyah

Eh, he would be better as Cyclops but cacs would flip a wig. Idris is too big of an actor to NOT be a permanent member of the X-plantation...oops I mean XMen who has no permanent black male members.

XMen is forever tainted in my eyes after the BP/Storm divorce AND making Prodigy gay. fukk em

Idris Alba to play Cyclops....what kind of a drunk casting director would you be breh...

His run is what brought the beginning of "Militant Scott" that fans like so much. His run shook things up in a good way imo.

Is he really pawging if she's a alien?

 

[Monsanto]

How y'all talking about an actor playing more than one character in a superhero genre when Chris Evans and Michael B Jordan both did it in Fantastic Four?

No one cared about Heimdall.

And goat X-MEN writer list is missing Mike Carey.

Wasn't it during the Twelve where Cyclops started his militant heel turn? Apocalypse in his mind is what started it all.

It was alright to see Scott change it up but I knew from day one that he wasnt gonna act that way when Jean popped back up and that's exactly what happened.

She got that life changing Phoenix Force p*ssy

Why not Aldis Hodge as Bishop?

I liked Scott/Emma

so youve taken one thing about people being mad that storm would be taken away from her team, and made it about white fans being mad that two black characters are being put together? how does that even make sense to you?

Lets finish this:
Storm is integral to the Xmen. White fanboys were pissed she got with Black Panther because its racist to put two black people together. They were triggered she was taken out of the Xmen and into the Avengers world. But that was a ruse because they were really mad at seeing her being paired with a black man. For years she wasn't seen as being "black" but as an "other". Clarimont really was the writer who made her exotic. Blue cat light eyes, angular face, white straight hair. She wasn't "black" to them. ANd to see one of their iconic waifus being paired with a black man was dubbed being "racist" that only bw should be paired with anyone other than black. But they didn't have a problem with Cyc and Jean or RIchard/Sue Reid.

as for character development, what character development? what growth has she had when she was with tchalla? i mean youre even here saying she had less development prior to being his wife? the chick that was leader of xmen gold, the leader of the morlocks, the chick that beat the leader of the xmen? what has she done while being married to him?

During the marriage, Hudlin expanded on her family background, something that was NEVER done prior to the marriage. She was ALWAYS regulated as a yessaboss and a background character who experienced no growth. She abandoned the Morlocks, you kidding me? Jean and Shadowcat had more development and more screentime than storm who was regulated to just throwing thunderbolts.

and you keep talking about famous love interests, who the hell cares if they dont mesh well? tchalla wasnt the most popular character to begin with, so naturally outside of readers few would know who monica lynne was. but their relationship was indeed serious, especially since he was with her in her last moments. and you keep saying he needs his sue storm, well you know sue storm didnt exist before the fantastic four right?

LOL what?? Sue IS the Fantastic Four. Their wont be one without her. TChalla is now the most important black man in comics, and the most important one in Marvel. He's now one of the most famous marvel characters. He needs a yin to his yang that has as much prestige and popularity as him. Unless you are cool with Oreo (yes I spelled it right) being regulated to Logan's bootycall and a background character behind some cac bytches on the X-Plantation. This is why they decided to rekindle their relationship because it was stupid to break them up in the first place.
